Meanwhile back here in Brum : New images emerge

“Houses hit by a tornado in Birmingham might have to be knocked down because they are so badly damaged.” Article. Also car owners without fully comp most likey won’t get a succesful insurance cliam. One guy had brought a new car, had just got out of the car before the winds hit and how the car has no roof.
